Prevalence and associated factors of subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis at the university hospital of Kinshasa

open access: yesBMC Rheumatology, 2019
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a 5 to 10 years reduction in life expectancy due to premature atherosclerosis. This reduction is the consequence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (TCRF) as well as systemic inflammation ...

FMD and CIMT: Surrogate markers of atherosclerosis in subclinical and overt hypothyroidism in sub Himalyan Region

open access: yesIndian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Introduction: Hypothyroidism increases the risk of atherosclerosis. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) have been used as a noninvasive method to detect atherosclerosis.

The Effect of Vitamin Supplementation on Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Patients without Manifest Cardiovascular Diseases: Never-ending Hope or Underestimated Effect?

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Micronutrients, especially vitamins, play an important role in the evolution of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It has been speculated that additional intake of vitamins may reduce the CVD burden by acting on the inflammatory and oxidative response ...

Carotid atherosclerosis in the first five years since rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis: a cross sectional study

open access: yesAdvances in Rheumatology, 2023
Background Systemic inflammation, documented before rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis, is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. We aimed to compare the prevalence of carotid plaque (CP) in RA patients in the first five years since diagnosis and ...
